Siri Shortcuts for Weather Gods - canvassing support

I check the weather at 6:00 AM and sunset at night.

I'm in! I use Siri a lot and sometimes, that involves checking weather. And your app is the only weather app I have, for forecasts and related data. I launch the app, check notifications to check too. I think it'd be worth a try. Plus, when you get data like allergy forecasts, and warnings and watches, I think it'd be useful. Plus, like what Holger says, for me, it'd be rain and thunderstorms. Where we live, the weather is unpredictable, and I don't like storms, so, I like knowing in advance of their approach. I'd see using it also for spicific weather events: (sunset/sunrise, storms, etc etc.

I'm not sure what's all in ios 12, but, if it can make Weather Gods more useful, and accessible then I'm all for it!

Siri will already tell you the time for sunrise and sunset. Just thought I'd point this out.

Some of the proposed Siri functionality is already provided through notifications. If someone in New York checks the weather daily at 6:00 a.m. they could receive a daily summary notification of the weather forecast. Also, users can receive notifications of rain or snow either in real time or as a forecast notification. The iOS weather app already offers a mini forecast. It is only for the day though and does not include rain or snow.

Unfortunately, notifications in Weather Gods are not follow me and need to be configured for each city. I discovered this recently when I vacationed in Colorado. I was getting Chicago notifications and my only options were to pause notifications or cancel Chicago notifications and enable the ones for Colorado Springs. I stopped the notifications altogether because I was not going to configure the app for a few days here and there. If someone travels long distances regularly, notifications would likely be of little use. A Siri forecast would be location based without opening the app or configuring anything. Also, Siri could ideally analyze weather data and respond to questions like “when will it rain next?” and offer a day and hour and likelihood of rain. Also, Siri does not offer lunar forecasts but Weather gods does. Siri through Weather gods could tell someone when the next full moon was happening. This is useful for people in rural areas without lights who are walking or working outdoors.

How about, Siri, Weather god's forecast for today? the complete for cast for that day, and that would be where u are located at the time. Sincerely Dave

I could be wrong about this, but I think if you say something like: "Hey Siri. What is today's forecast?" You will get the forecast from Apple's weather app. To get the forecast (or anything else) from Weather Gods, you'd have to say something like: "Hey Siri. Ask Weather Gods for today's forecast."

My understanding of the new Siri Shortcuts feature is that you can define your own phrase(such as "What's my personal forecast?") and assign one or more actions to that phrase, such as getting the forecast from Weather Gods. What I don't know is the restrictions on those self-defined phrases. In other words, if your self-defined phrase conflicts with a phrase Siri already understands as something that's not a shortcut, which takes priority? I'm not a beta tester, so I have no idea how the new shortcuts feature will work.

thanks Scott for a great weather app! It's the only weather app I use.. Keep up the wonderful work!

Since the app came out I do not use the weather app that comes with iPhone. I put the weather app from apple in folder that I do not use. If I use siri to check weather will use the apple app. This why we need short cut for the app. I know that we get notification but what if we do not want to use it? Choices are great.
